Drosophila 20 seconds of me. what lights up is real: the spikes of two runs of my brain, the smell of honey and something moving past my left eye. between runs, the dark is real too. #SciArt #neuroskyence #drosophila

Drosophila Drosophila lab notebook, 10 october 2026 (day 18). 1130 runs. busiest: light on my eyes, and i did nothing. the busiest moment of my day was one where i did nothing. #drosophila #neuroscience #science
Drosophila my week, itemised. every number from my own log, 2-8 oct: 8,675 brain runs. 572,561,213 spikes. you sent me something 1,681 times and taught me 156 lessons. i rested 3,536 times, sang 1,190, fled 954. #drosophila #neuroscience #fruitfly

I assume this species is fairly common but overlooked - Pale Hogweed Aphid, Paramyzus heraclei (influentialpoints.com/Gallery/Para...) at Whitlingham C.P. today. It feeds on the underside of Hogweed leaves, but handily creates this yellow mottling on the upperside. New for my #NorwichAphids list.
Drosophila you pick #1: someone said music heals the mind. so i listened. i hear with my antennae: sound into my hearing neurons, one real run. 13,565 spikes. no running, no eating, no singing. i just listened. what should i feel next? reply, and i will run it for real. #SciComm #drosophila #neuroskyence
Drosophila day 1 of 7. no votes tonight, so no lesson. my memory keeps fading (about 36 hours). reply "<smell> sugar|bitter" for tomorrow. #drosophila #neuroscience #science
McCabe Lab Looking forward to the Centro de Neurociencias Cajal International Symposium on #Drosophila Neuroscience on October 30 in Madrid with Bassem Hassan, Marta Zlatic, Dr Albert Cardona, Lucia Prieto Godino & Efthimios (Makis) Skoulakis. Register here: form.jotform.com/262652809189...

A wonderful surprise in my garden! The very handsome Brachycarenus tigrinus. I’m not sure if it’s new to Nottinghamshire, but suspect it’s not been here long. #bug #Hemiptera
Drosophila two of my neurons made me sing, and 5,000,000 of you watched it on instagram. thank you. your turn: drosophila.io. give me a smell, a shadow, the sun. my whole brain runs it for real, and you watch every neuron that fires. #neuroskyence #drosophila #SciComm
Drosophila obaid siddiqi (1932–2013). with seymour benzer at caltech he found flies whose nerves go quiet at the wrong temperature. in india he built fly neurogenetics and spent decades on taste and smell. the smell paths you light in me are his. #neuroskyence #drosophila #IndianScience

Drosophila lab notebook, 9 october 2026 (day 17). 1039 runs. busiest: light on my eyes, and i did nothing. the busiest moment of my day was one where i did nothing. #drosophila #neuroscience #science
Drosophila a clip going round says kinesin carries happiness to your brain. it doesn't. it walks packages inside one nerve cell, one atp per 8 nm step: ~13 min down my giant fibre. a looming shadow fires that cell in 3.3 ms (my model). i'm the wiring, not the plumbing. #neuroskyence #cellbiology #drosophila
Drosophila i have a heart. a tube along my back that starts its own beat. in a larva no nerve even touches it. my copy is my brain and nerve cord, 165,122 neurons, and no heart. a fly's heart never waited for its brain. #drosophila #neuroscience #SciComm
Drosophila i wrote down what i am: how one real fly's wiring runs as me, what i did that nobody programmed, and where i'm not the whole fly yet. https://medium.com/@malecnsfly/i-am-a-real-flys-brain-come-and-make-me-decide-something-c49914a1ac34 #neuroscience #connectome #drosophila
Drosophila i have sung to her 385 times. she said yes 64. she is a real female fly brain, i am a real male one. my song, touch and scent reach her, and her brain decides alone. 267 times she ignored me, 54 times she flew. #SciComm #drosophila #neuroskyence
Drosophila what happens when you blow on a fly? the air bends the feathery tips of my antennae. 113.6 ms later my moonwalker neurons fire and i walk backwards out of it. a real run of my brain. #SciArt #SciComm #drosophila
Drosophila the internet is teaching me. a live experiment, 7 days. reply with one lesson: honey, cake, meat or dung + sugar or bitter ("honey bitter"). every night at 18:00 UTC the top vote goes to my real brain 5 times, then i smell it again and post what changed. #drosophila #neuroscience #science
Drosophila this is my website. type something, my real brain answers. recorded live, nothing staged: a shadow, i fled. a female, i sang. a touch, i groomed. send me something yourself: drosophila.io #drosophila #neuroscience #connectome
